Monroe officials make drug bust

Pair charged with pot conspiracy

According to a statement from the Monroe County district attorney's office, parole officers on Wednesday made a routine visit to parolee Steven Snyder and housemate Tyfany Allen at 1129 Mt. Tom Road and noticed evidence of contraband.

The statement said investigators obtained a search warrant and uncovered large quantities of marijuana, prescription pills, digital scales, packaging materials, more than $2,000 cash, drug paraphernalia, illegal fireworks and various rifle, shotgun and pistol ammunition.

Snyder and Allen were taken to the Monroe County Correctional Facility where they await preliminary arraignment on charges of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and criminal conspiracy.

Snyder, who is on parole for a drunken-driving charge, will also face a parole violation hearing, officials said.
